Well, if it isn't gonna snow I'll take these nice temps. Great Falls broke the high temp record today. Helena wasn't to far from a new record either. There have been two crazy days of wind (56 mph in HLN) lately. But, overall it has been a very mild winter.
Yesterday I snuck out for a few hours of shooting in a long sleeve tee. Today I cut out of work early and run up another 70 mile on the bike. 
  
Hope you are getting out and enjoying it. |

Yeah, I don't need any fire in January. But, I'll take 'em May-October.  I IC'd one last week south of Billings. I was actually on furlough when I got the call. It surprised the hell out of me. Today we saw 3 good ones burning in the Billings area. The volly's must have taken care of them. Crazy "winter" so far...

This morning they were saying 45,000 acres on the Browning fires. I see that was revised to 16,000 ac. this evening. It always so hard to tell in the dark. Either way, it's all crazy for January! I was out taking fuels plots all day. There wasn't anywhere that wouldn't have burned today. No snow on any aspect. |

From driving up 89 about 2.5 hours after after it started, I would have guessed 45K acres too. The sky was orange from the turn off to Heart Butte to noth of Browning. |
